Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Worst doctor ever
Telehealth
I was hospitalized for a week last year with horrible GI issues. They have been recurring on and off since then. The Resident I saw was Dr. Pan. She seemed to listen to my concerns, and went off to review the info I gave her w the attending physician Dr Barr. I never saw Dr Pan again after that point. Dr Barr came in and was so insultingly dismissive of my concerns. He told me 'the good thing about medicine is that if something was really wrong with you, you would have worse symptoms'., Bud. I guess being hospitalized for one week isn't concerning. He proceeded to order routine bloodwork and told me to get paperwork from the front desk. When I got said paperwork there was an order for the blood test and an order for a DRUG TEST. When I called the office the medical assistant told me it was standard for new patients to receive a drug test. BS. the lab technician said that the Dr failed to ask me critical questions and failed to order any sort of specific test to address my G.I. concerns

Has been a wonderful in helping me to get better after my Chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Also he is a caring individual to my family as their primary physician. Would recommend him to any and everyone looking for a caring and trusting doctor.

This is just a money machine...Dr. is interested in office visits and billing ONLY!! Response to issues is poor at best and when he or his staff finally dealt with my requests, it was with attitude and error!! DO NOT USE THIS Doctor!!!
